Comedy Double Plus

British comic Gina Yashere, whose video I’ve featured before on this blog, has been uploading lots of clips to her YouTube page and it’s such a big bag of goodies it’s hard to know which one to choose. In the end I just had to feature this one, of her recent concert trip to Iraq:

I went to Iraq to do some shows for the troops. 1- because I like a challenge, 2- because even though I am totally against this war, I’m also morbidly curious! This is a light hearted look at my trip

She’s got some gumption, as you’ll see in the video as she’s dangling over the edge of a helicopter. But now I want to see know what happened on the rest of the tour. More video please, Gina, if you’ve got it.

And now for something completely different – this little clip, on a surefire way to get and keep a man, is from Life Support, an old Australian spoof daytime lifestyle show. It being Australian comedy and therefore quite sick, this clip is not only NSFW but comes with a Great Big Red Warning Stickerfor those easily offended by humour about physical infirmity.

That seems all too horribly plausible after watching E! or a shopping channel or the like for any length of time.

Now for the bonus clip and a a real bonus it is too. This had us literally helpless with laughter when we saw it on the otherwise patchy new BBC3 sketch show Rush Hour last week. This is Adam Buxton (of the fondly remembered movies-with-soft-toys show The Adam and Joe Show) as a middle-class Rock Dad who plays his son NWA’s Fuck Tha Police, with live censoring.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, washed the t-shirt 23 times, threw the t-shirt in the ragbag, now I'm polishing furniture with it.
